FS: Foxface(Sherwood Park)

I wouldnt sell him. Best fish I've had. He's super tough and can survive just about anything. Very docile and no problem. Mine coexists with a Naso and Hippo tang as well as some very docile as well as aggresive fish. He will do the big flair to warn them off if he gets stressed but other than that he is great. Not only that but he will eat just about anything put in the tank. Mine eats out of my hand all the time.

My Foxy was one of my last additions. Unfortunately for him, though, I had two large and nasty damsels in the tank.

Foxy was wonderful. The damsels would take a run at him, he'd put up his spines and lean toward them.... they'd back off fast and try again later. He never chased them or attempted to spine them, he just defended himself when they came chasing. The damsels never came in contact with the spines. This lasted for two days and now they all live in harmony. Foxy is a shy, unassuming fish who just goes about his business!

He's a wonderful addition to my tank, and I never once had concerns that any of my fish were in danger. I vote that you put him in your tank!

Same here, I think the chances of the fox face stabbing another fish is quite slim, its personality is worth wild and definitely worth a shot in your tank. IMO

powertec you really do not have to worry about your other fish. Foxface are very mild and only raise their spines in self defense. Your concern should be that your careful when your hands are in the tank. You don't want to accidently come in contact with her. I just lost mine that I had since 2001 and it was a amazing fish. She ate gently from my hand, never ever bothered any new fish that were ever added over the years and kept my tank totally clear of algae. Never realized until her death how much "algae cleaning" she must have been doing!
My humble opinion is to put her in and enjoy!

I got a Purple Tang and Foxface (Lando's) they're always swimming together, no aggression between the two.

My fox face is very docile. He seems to swim well with the other fish (mostly tangs) and it kinda kewl watching him pulse his spines when the other fish act aggressive towards him.
